KENTUCKY SMALL BUSINESSES –

Grow Your Business AND Get a Tax Break!

The Kentucky Small Business Tax Credit (KSBTC) program is designed to encourage small business growth and job creation. Most for-profit businesses with 50 or fewer full-time employees are eligible. And now the program has been expanded and simplified!

Tax credits range between $3,500 and $25,000 and require that
a company has created and sustained (for 12 months) at least one
new full-time job (at $10.88/hr or more) and has purchased at
least $5,000 of qualifying equipment or technology.

HOW DO I APPLY?
